Good for scratching, not so much for listening. "Real" vinyl is going to be pressed. The etching comes first on the master platter using a lacquer on an aluminum disc. Then that master is electroplated. Then that copy is electroplated (several times depending on production) too to make the pressing disk. Basically a mold of a mold to get the grooves.
